Legs gone? At 28 years old?

Yup

 

He was even slower than me

 

Doesn't mean he couldnt direct others

 

Not that I think it's a good idea like

It isn't an idea though, just supporters tweeting him.

No. The Ivan Campo who played 85 times for Real Madrid and 4 times for Spain. That Ivan Campo.

 

won the CL playing in defence too

 

anyway, our main problems lie in midfield, and he knew what he was doing there

 

but it won't happen, he's just being nice

 

one ex player pissing about with the team is enough

I think Campo didn't make it as a CB here, not because his legs had gone per se, more down to him wanting to be a 'footballer', or to put it another way, he wanted to 'fanny around' with it in the wrong areas rather than just get rid.

 

You can get away with that on the continent where defenders are given time on the ball, you can't get away with it in the Barclays Premier League though.

 

David Luiz at Chelsea reminds me a LOT of a young Ivan Campo - and not just the hair. If Villas Boas plays him just ahead of Terry and Cahill, ie in the Campo role, I think he'd be a fantastic player

Trust me, his legs were shot....you must all remember his rugby tackles as a midfielder with pace glided past him.....if he did that at the back he'd have been sent off every other week; you can get isolated 1 on 1 at the back with nothing behind you, whereas in midfield you can use the space / or lack of, to your advantage, and his reading of the game allowed success - if he'd have played at the back, you can't manage that nearly as much

Rooney at Goodison Park on boxing day rings a bell
